10 Céntimos Ellar

Ellar is a small municipality in the Pallars Sobirà comarca of Catalonia. During the Spanish Civil War, hundreds of local committees — agricultural cooperatives, municipal councils, anarchist collectives — issued their own fractional paper currency to address the near-total collapse of small coin circulation after July 1936. The Comité Agrícola de Ellar was one of the more obscure of these issuers; surviving examples are rarely catalogued with confidence, which likely explains the incomplete Gari Monografies reference number.

Production was almost certainly local — handset type, basic letterpress, minimal security features. These notes functioned within a single village economy and were never intended to travel far.
